Mozilla Firefox - faster, more secure, easier to use and sporting a new look, this latest Firefox release sets a new standard for web browser innovation. Mozilla Firefox project (formerly Firebird, which was formerly Phoenix) is a redesign of Mozilla's browser component, written using the XUL user interface language and designed to be cross-platform. It is small, fast and easy to use, and offers many advantages over other web browsers, such as the tabbed browsing and the ability to block pop-up windows.
Tentatively scheduled for release in November 2010, Firefox 4 is currently in the beta stage with the fourth beta released on August 24, 2010. It will bring a new, "faster" user interface. Early mockups of the new interface on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux were first made available in July 2009. Other features slated for Firefox 4 include a new Account Manager, improved notifications, application tabs, a redesigned extension manager, and support for multitouch displays and 64-bit systems.
On October 13, 2006, Brendan Eich, Mozilla's Chief Technology Officer, wrote about the plans for "Mozilla 2", referring to the most comprehensive iteration (since its creation) of the overall platform on which Firefox and other Mozilla products run. Most of the objectives were gradually incorporated into Firefox through versions 3.0, 3.5, and 3.6. The largest changes, however, are slated to land with Firefox 4.
Firefox 4 is based on the Gecko 2.0 engine, which adds/improves support for HTML5, CSS3, WebM, and WebGL. Also, it includes a new JavaScript engine (JägerMonkey) and better XPCOM APIs.
